Anyone know why TalkTalk bans AL Jazeera?

I'd like a more balanced view of the news than BBC, ITV and the laughable GB News but TalkTalk must think that other news outlets would be too offensive to my delicate ears.

 

Anybody know why TalkTalk chooses to decline to allow me to watch news that I want to see?

TalkTalk do not ban Al Jazeera.

 

It is no longer available as a free to air channel but is available on Supported web enabled devices on channel 251.

 

Unfortunately TalkTalk boxes are not one on the devices that supports these wen enabled channels.

 

They use a broadcast system that is not included within the boxes.

 

Somes smart TVs do support this but not all.

 

There is a technical  reason for this and you can Google this if interested.

 

As said this is not censorship by TalkTalk.

From the 29th of March our TalkTalk Community will move to peer-to-peer support and the TalkTalk team will no longer be here to support with queries. Don’t worry we still have plenty of ways to reach out if you need to speak to TalkTalk directly. For more details check out the link here: How to contact TalkTalk Broadband - Help & Support.
